There's a bright big
Strawberry moon
in the sky
Such a cliche
It being
June and all
The type of moon
That set designers
Dream of...
That paper moon
That cardboard sky
The shroud of mist
Surrounding
Makes her girth,
Her opulence
Immense
Reminding me
To eat wild
Strawberries
off my father's
Grave again.
Silver moon
December moon
Luminescent ice
Reflecting Her face
Her Cold stare
On these
Darkest nights
Away from
Festive lights
Passive
Indifferent
To the folly
Below
Azure pleasure
Liquid measure
How sure is your
Treasure?
How sure?
How pure?

Firefly by
Quantum leaps
In silky moonlight
Hovering
Lonely lane of
Hidden pain
Reggae romping
rhythms of
Beating rain
The happy click
Of dog tags
Roaming
Some nights i lie awake
In sleepless wonder
Open to words and notes
Routine asunder
In this silence that
embraces me,
In this shower
of serenity
In this moonlight
realm of Mystery
My breath is steady
I am alive
My heart is ready
Uncontrived
My lover wonders
Where I've gone
I've come to gather
Verse and song
I will return and
Sleep consume
But for now i'm
Staring at the moon
Full moon
Fat Raccoon
Garbage can
Scrape boom
Night noises
In the lane
Moaning cats
Fighting again
Neighbors shouting
Needs not met
Toxic words
They'll want
To forget
Waiting for
The birds
Of dawn
To drown
This darkness
With their song
Waiting for
The edge of night
To surrender
To the light
Who's there?
My bed is bathed
in silver velvet
This August moon at 3 a.m.
So big and full and juicy
Drawing me like the tide
Inevitable force that
Awes and keeps me
Dozing not sleeping
Afraid to miss a minute
Of it's splendour
It's grace immersing
My soul. Tonight
I am love.
July 12 2014.
Buck moon
Thunder moon
Silver dollar
Super moon
Light my night
In silver white
Serene sentinel
Over Canada
I wish i was at
The lake
Any lake
Double or nothing
Look up people
Look up
The world is
Not so small
Or large
tonight
Serenity
Magnified
Problems
Nil
In the tick tock echoes
Of my sullen mind
I see what's ahead
And those left behind
Frozen images without sound
Buried, sleeping, underground
Why this passage?
Why this night?
Why this whispering?
Half moon light
Alone with tapped out
Airless pause
My faceless mirror
The hapless cause
My yoga mind
My mindful breathing
Ease the pain of
Shadows leaving
Empty but for
My soft hum
Relaxed, relieved
That rest has come
(July 2014)
Full moon obscured
But I don't care
I know you cast
your eyes up there
Full moon occurred
I know she's there
You have to cast
Your faith up there
Tomorrow when
The sky is clear
That big old moon
Will help me steer
My heart from haze
So we can gaze
Four eyes together
...No more distance
...No more weather
